It\u2019s another busy day in the Californian desert. Women\u2019s second round action commences at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, whilst first round matchups conclude on the men\u2019s side. Overall, there are 32 singles matches on the schedule. There isn\u2019t too much standing out, it\u2019s best to be cautious at this stage of the tournament. Let\u2019s take a look at some of the best betting options of the day.<\/p>\n
The best value underdog of the day has to be Misaki Doi in my opinion. Madison Keys is the type of player that can lose to just about anyone on a bad day; her recent poor form suggests a bad day isn\u2019t out of the question here and Misaki Doi is playing well enough to take advantage.<\/p>\n
Madison Keys was one of the form players on tour to start the year, but her form has cooled off significantly of late. Keys suffered back-to-back opening round exits in Mexico, beaten by Harmony Tan and Petra Martic and therefore arrives in Indian Wells on a three match losing streak.<\/p>\n
Misaki Doi has momentum on her side after a 0-6 6-4 6-3 win over Anastasia Potapova in the first round, the type of comeback win that can build confidence. Doi has beaten Keys in the past, a three set victory in Madrid in 2017. The courts in Indian Wells suit the game of Doi, her slow bouncy surface aids Doi\u2019s heavy forehand and will allow her to neutralize the power of Keys. Doi should at least be very competitive in one set, so take the total games over to cover the money line play.<\/p>\n
